The basic technology is both simple and extremely complex. At its most basic, water flows from a pump, through plumbing and out a cutting head. It is simple to explain, operate and maintain. The process, however, incorporates extremely complex materials technology and design. To generate and control water at pressures of 87,000 psi requires science and technology not taught in universities. At these pressures a slight leak can cause permanent erosion damage to components if not properly designed. The water jet manufacturers take care of the complex materials technology and cutting-edge engineering. The user need only be knowledgeable in the basic water jet operation.

Waterjet Cutting

Learn all about…Waterjet Cutting<br />What it is, how it works, and why<br />

2.
What is waterjet cutting?<br />Waterjet cutting is… <br />A method of manufacturing that uses a high pressure water stream to cut through material <br />Pressure of the water gets up to (and sometimes more than) 60,000 PSI <br />Water exits the nozzle in the cutting head with a cutting diameter of 0.020” to 0.060” <br />

22.
Why use waterjet cutting?<br />When companies outsource work to manufacture their custom products proficiently, waterjet cutting is often an advantageous option<br />Waterjet cutting allows for fast turnaround times<br />It’s also a very efficient cutting method<br />No burr<br />No heat affected zones<br />Multiple head cutting allows nesting of parts which is like ‘multi-tasking’ for the waterjet, as it is able to cut numerous parts at once<br />
